TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST %.

REGULATING HENRY GEoReE.-The So
cialists met at Cooper Union, New York, last
night to denounce Henry George. The Fur
niture Union and Trainers Union both en-
tered the hall waving red flags, and were
enthusiastically cheered. Speeches were
made by Mr.. O'Neil, William P. Rogers and
Editor Schervitchof, of the Leader. Every
time the name of Henry George was men,
toned the assemblage broke into alternate
wells of delight and Kisses OF disapproyal.
Several times the meeting was on the verge
of breaking up in confusion and slight
row was once precipitated in the rear of the
hall. After stormy session resolutions
enouncpg Henry George and repudiating
his platform and personal political machine
were adopted.

itself limit the use of the drug.
And any person holding such expen-
sive license, would be sure to use
all possible means TO prevent others
from dealing in the sale, etc., of the
drug.
The Government is not in posi-
ton financially to engage reliable
coast guards, to protect its shores
against elicit dealers in contraband
articles, and certainly not in a posi-
ton TO give up such an important
part of its much needed revenues.
For the above named reasons /
favor licensing the sale of opium,
such license to be sold at Public
Auction, at say an upset price OF
100000, to be sold to the highest
bidder furnishing suitable bonds for
the legal and faithful performance
of the same.
/ am also in favor of licensing
liquor saloons in the country dis
tricts of the Islands, based on we'll
considered restrictions and bonds
and make the penalties for drunk
enness much heavier than at pres
ent.
The above important subjects will
certainly be carefully and thorough
ly discussed at the coming session
OF the Legislature, soon to convene,
but in the mean time it will not
be amiss for public expressions to
be heard. Yours, ETC.,

OPIUM LICENSING.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-In your issue
of yesterday, 18th inst, / note GER
tain Resolutions, purporting to be
the united continents of the Planters
Labor and Supply Company, on the
opium license and Of the licensing
of liquor saloons in the country dis
tricts.
Now with due respect to the gen.
tleman, who prepared, presented,
took part in and edorsed the said
resolutions,
l for one bed to state, through
your paper, that | do not endorse
such resolutions.
Opium has been, is being, and
ever will be brought into this coun-
try, in quantities sufficient to supply
all demands, regardless of any
license. And knowing this fact, |
fail to see why the Government
should throw aside an annual in
come of 500, 900, or more, And
allow few innocent gentlemen to
resume the traffic and pocket the
said amount of profits as would GER
tainly be the case, if the Govern
should cease to grant such license.
And the public would be burdened
with higher taxation to make up the
deficiency.
am quite aware that the whole
sale use of the drug results In
serious and evil consequences. And
if by the re-enactment of laws, it's
importation and use could be stop
ped, l would certainly favor such
measure, but our past experience
gives us no reasons to hope for such
results, but to the contrary.
And with the unlimited, snug
Cling facilities that this country
offers, with the practical and exper-
fenced operators resident in the
Islands, who well know the extern
siye, unguarded and uninhahited
accessible coasts, and only partially
guarded ports of entry and others,
in the several Islands, who are pre-
pared to take great risks in dealing
in such highly profitable business,
| contend that an attempt to stamp
out the traffic, would prove, as in
the past, only disappointing and
fruitless.
l am, however, of opinion that
license sold at high figure, neces-
sarily putting the price of opium at
correspondingly high rate, would in

IT CAN Be DONE.

As frequently ayerred in the
columns of this paper, Honolulu is
capable of being made one OF the
prettiest and most attractive little
cities on the globe. Nature has
given a healthful climate, and a soil
capable of producing the most lux
uriant vegetable ornamentation.
Man has botched his work in laying
out and building up the city, ignor-
ing both the science of mathematics
and the art of beauty. Intelligent
private enterprise has been for some
time engaged in correcting some OF
the early defects, by replacing old
shanties with slightly. architecture,
&C. But the Government has been
negligent of its duties-widening
and grading streets, constructing
highways, &c. The present Admin
istration, however, is throwing some
energy and money into this class OF
work. and has made a respectable
beginning in permanent street i'm
provement. Patient perseverance
in the same line, as fast as available
means will allow, will in time trans
form the narrow, inconvenient,
rough streets and uneven sidewalks
into what they should be. 1t can
not all be dsne in day, or week,
or a year; but by proceeding on
systematic and scientific plan, and
steadily holding the object in view,
time will consummate the task. Let
us hope that whatever changes may
occur from time to time in the gov
ernment of the country, the present
policy in this regard may be perma-
nently maintained, until Honolulu
becomes the pretty and attractive
city that it is capable of being made.

to go to trial, Although q postpone
ment may be extremely convenient
for lawyers engaged in the case,
jury men and witnesses are usually
put to great Inconvenience thereby.
Men leave their occupations, in obe-
dience to a summons or subpoena,
and are on band in court at a speci-
fed hour. After patiently waiting
for some time, they are informed
that they will not be required that
day, the counsel for plaintiff or de-
PENDANT not being ready 10 go on
with the case. Then they will be
required TO attend a second, and
perhaps third time. This is annoy.
ing, and the loss OF time is more
than most people concerned can well
afford. No doubt, cases are occa.
sionally called in court, in which
counsel have not had sufficient time
to prepare, and the request for an
extension OF time Is reasonable,
even though it may be inconvenient
to jury men or witnesses. These
are not the instances complained of,
but those in which apparently ample
time has been afforded. The latter
class are too numerous in the opinion
Of some concerned.
